20...

A very fine evening, not so sunny and not at all rainy, i made myself a hot cup of chai, random thoughts running in my head. One of the most recurring thoughts was that of achievement. I happened to glance at The Hindu's front page. Photo of a cute guy in Germany's jersey,jumping on another one wearing England's jersey... "Ah, another one of those goals and another team wins, again" i think to myself. And then i look at it again, wait... did they say 20?? Was he really only 20?!?! and then, my face went like this: 8-O
Serious analysis and the result was as follows:
At the age of 20,

• A.R.Rehman : was in Illaiyaraja's troupe as a keyboard artiste, already a few rungs up the success ladder.

• Sivamani : finished 9 yrs of his drumming career already!

• J.K.Rowling : (I'm not quite sure if she was at 20 or 25) gets the idea of the story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry.

• Saina Nehwal : well, the hat-trick of titles-Indian Open, Singapore Open and Indonesia Open.

• Sania Mirza : wins the silver in Women's singles, gold in mixed doubles AND a Padmashri award!

• Leo Tolstoy : started writing... :|

• Thomas Mueller(the cute guy i mentioned,playing for Germany) : scores the fourth goal,beating England.

• W.Shakespeare : is married to a lady called Anne Hathaway ;) :P

• Robert Pattinson : famous for his role of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.

• Ranjitha Raghu : updates her blog three months after she's 20 :|

I'm sure there're many more people you can add to this list, but the fact remains that there's so much you can achieve before you're twenty, and a lot more AFTER 20 ;)

Cheers! :)

P.S.: Thanks to Venki, i did my homework :D

SO DIFFERENT!

There was peace.. there was bliss...it felt like heaven,it was perfect.nothing could go wrong.... And then,there was...NOISE!!! :X grrr.... i woke up with a start!the dream was so perfect!I was just gonna open that bar of crackle when the noise,which turned out to be my roommate,screaming biz she saw a rat in the room,happened... the door was wide open,the lights were turned on and there she was,standing on top of her bed with a broomstick in her hand,with less than 0% chances of chasing the rat from up there!i gulped down some water(to prevent awfully swearing at her) and then,we searched the entire room... the mouse(or was it a rat?never knew the difference though) was nowhere.when we were convinced it wasnt in the room anymore,we went back to sleep.
Now,as soon as i settled myself,the first thing i saw was my mobile.It was 2'15 in the morning... and there were....wait for it.... 7 msgs! whoa i was in demand,i thought to myself... i opened each msg one by one... the first one dint quite sink in.. what photocopy is she talking abt? the second one also dint make sense,all the best for what?! then,as i read the 4th,5th and 7th ones(dont ask me what the 3rd and 6th msgs were! ;P ) i realised it was a friday the next day... and I'D A FRIGGIN' EXAM ON SAT'DAY!!! and that,my dear friends,is when ron loses her senses...
the next three weeks(i know its very abrupt,but yea face it... i've to cut the crap!) were crazy!they went away in a haze!there were notes,photocopies,arbit crap abt lame things that help exchange heat between fluids(:| like i care....)..... and then,it was over!
Ah,the satdat the exams got over,i came straight to the room(the paper was awful!worse than an ES paper!!) and laughed. i laughed heartily!and then i gave my mind a break.later,when i was thinking abt one of the days during those three weeks,there was blurred vision of somebody telling me how things've changed so much,how so many ppl were so different blah blah blah.... and i suddenly remembered Varsha-how she's constantly pestered me to update my blog! so this is the result of that... :P
anyway,after exams the talk of the college was the upcomin techfest.there was so much of excitement for that!well... added attractions were the sports fest and the cultural fest! now,one would say every student must be so busy with so much going on in the college.there were hardly any free weekends here all of them are occupied with these fests,save one! so like every other person,i also wanted to do something to keep myself busy... i went to socialize with ppl i hadnt met in a while. ;) i did arbit almost insignificant work etc etc. but then,something was vaguely disturbing my mind.was it my hungry stomach?was it some freakin assignment?oh crap,i left my calc in the class... or wait,was it that incomplete dream where i dint finish my chocolate?i thought with all the thoughts i could think of....(wtf did i just blabber?) i thought for days and nights..
one day,i was sitting in the lawn watching my friends play a game of volleyball(i was too short for it) and then BAM!it hit the nail on the head! i was useless!i was jobless!i was vetti!i should be out there playing!i should do something with my life,not follow the mechanical routine!!! and that was when i held the bat... i mean the badminton racquet.. and that was when i decided i need to give it s shot.. literally! and thats how i played nicely everyday... :) throwball(someone doesnt like this game... but liked it that i was playing afterall!),dodge ball,badminton(not much!),kho-kho, kabaddi,sprained my ankle, yelled at ppl,came home and bathed... everyday! it felt nice... that finally i was doing something different... :) something i wanted to do always...
i liked it that i was doing something! not being vetti... i also liked it that "louuu" was in the air... so many new relationships in such short time. :P in like a week,i heard of not less than five new relationships!!! wow ppl had grown... :P
thanks for bearing with this load of BS!!! comments please.... :)

Change..

Ok.. It has been many days since Ron blogged.. I dunno why i stop suddenly! And one fine day,somebody says "blog updated" when i remember i also should.. :P
You know,thats the problem with pisceans-they're such pushovers! i am not proud of that but i'm just thinking why it never occurs to me that i should do things on my own-particularly things that i wanna do... It has always been me acting according to somebody else's whims and fancies.There were times when i gave up my biggest dreams for something very petty.I couldn't decide for myself.I lost so many things, owing to succumbing to other people's wishes.I then realized that was such a doormat!
It was around this time that i connected a lot with two very special friends of mine.We discussed so many things,one arbit day.We spoke and spoke about everything under the stars[;) it was night time and we were in the lawn].And that night,I decided that i was gonna wake up the next day morning all fresh and different.I wanted to stand on my own two little feet.Everyone has,at some point of time in their lives, faced the same situation as i did.It was not anything extraordinarily terrible.I wanted to show the world around me how things can get nasty when I'm used for the wrong reasons.
And I did! I succeeded in becoming a different person!I find waking up as early as six in the morning beautiful!i was one kid who could never wake up before 8.10 for class at 8.40!I realized how nice and smooth life can be when i do things that i want and get stuff I've always wanted.It payed off-my life was so lubricated!
And when i went home,there were my friends,who'd always known that someday I will realize what an idiot i was for 19 yrs! :P I'm thankful for the fact that I'm gifted to have friends who know me inside out... and who can say 20 yrs down the line,"RON!!! Oh my god,you look the same-short,but a little old!Oh you're so little I'd love to carry you on my back!".... for which I'd reply,"No thank you,I can stand on my own feet!"
:)

Peter Ron

This is very common stuff....
OK when i first stepped into SASTRA, for the first few days i was bowled by the language change!i mean its Tamil alright for all practical purposes... but whattha!!!at home,ma taught us to be strict tam brahm.... ;) it always used to be "Sollungol"or "kettelo?" or just generally "ennadu idu?"
but an yr into college and practical tamil there was "sollinga" or "kettiya?" and "inna?" respectively.. very tanjore slang ;) trust me i was whacked at home for using such language!atleast now, i know what to speak where and when... ;)
A few other things that i picked up there in two yrs are:

• Kadalai-this is when u are talking very closely to a person of opposite gender... ;)
• Mokkai-also called "sollu" in telugu(golt)... it means useless talk,or pj's.
• Golt-the language "telugu" is called as golt down south.. ;)
• Peter-this is by far the best!any guy/girl who apeks too much english is said to be petering!!(thanks to vivek for the mirinda ad)
• Edward-this is a superlative of peter.... a walking oxford dictionary is called an edward.
• Aarva Kolaru-in short an aako, actually is excitement... an aako is one who loves to do things just too perfectly!like a person who submits an assignment right on the date of submission is an aako...
• Summa adurradu illa- ;) thanks to rajnikanth as sivaji, this is used practically by every soul there!!! obv u all know what it means...
• Khhhhhhhhhhhh-now this,was propagated by us lot.it is just the collection of a lot of saliva whisch is accumulated at the throat and ready to be connoned at any person who has just done the gravest mistake of his life(i just petered a lot ;))
• worsht-this is pretty common... just an emphasis to say that stuff is sad...
  
• yela- now this is the pakka madurai tamil,its just a replacement of "dei" which is used to address friends.
• Bulb-this is just used to pull ur leg... it means"haha look at u,dint get what u asked for"
• Aappu-this means trouble ahead,like the thermo paper or the flumeach probs...

a few things i learnt from roomates are:-

• oru neeshon iri-(from niru)meaning wait a min...
• pakki pannadai-(from bunesh)a few showers of choicest blessings ;) means stupid, dumbass etc etc
• olari kottade-(from pavitra)meaning dont blabber like hell
• chen-chwenchy-(from bhavani)this is how u pronounce ten-twenty wen u have ulcers in ur mouth ;)

and the general stuff like macha,machi,verr verr dyetti(very very dirty) etc etc....



but seriously, i can never forget namma very own "lite teesko mama" or "ye vooru manadi" or "apna hyderabad hai,hum aiseech rehte"!!!!!!

of buses and sardars

has anyone ever experienced the most irritating thing on earth--driving on the left side of a bus along a long straight road where there are a million bus-stops along the path?many would have.... but not all would've experienced a situation where,there is a lone SARDAR riding his motorbike on your left... which means you are sandwiched between a bus and a sardar... gosh!hard to decide which one is more irritating!ok anyway.along the university road,i was riding away to glory when the sardar first spotted me.at a speed breaker,we both slowed down... and that was where he saw me.[:P]then we both sped at the same rate.i thought he was trying to show off... so i slowed down and he went firther... that was when the bus entered the play... gosh i kept following it for 3 freakin kilometres biz the thing kept stopping at every freaking(even remotely populated) bus stop!!! then i thought i SHOULD go to its right now... and i slowly start overtaking the bus from right when ,wat do i find--TADA!its the sardar!!!
grrr.... now i thought the bus was better... ok anyway,he saw me speeding and started blocking my way.i mean... i goes left and he goes left... i goes right and he goes right.... now he should've had eyes at the butt of his head,lol....biz he dint have a rear-view mirror then how the hell did he know which way i was going???yea anyway,i thought i should teach him civic sense... and i let him rule the road while he showed off his driving[over-action!>:( ] skills.then at a certain point,i took a left galli(lol,it is a chota diversion but it takes me home anyway)...this was exactly at the end of the looooong university road.and then i reached home safely.
sad i dint take his contact,els i would've surely texted him that i "reached safely thank u so much!"
yea meanwhile,the bus was far behind us and it lived happily ever after!!!
that there is an experience of most of the pretty wonderful girls of hyderabad.
